Mophie is taking pre-orders on their new “Juice Pack” for the iPhone. This is an external rechargeable lithium polymer battery which functions like a non-slip, soft slip case. You can charge the Juice Pack separately from the iPhone. It can also be charged using the iPhone cable or through any iPhone compatible device with a 30-pin dock connector. Sounds like a great product. Time to order mine!

Woz is looking forward to using Leopard and likes the idea of third-party apps for the iPhone. Laptop Magazine has a long interview with Woz and he says, “I am really for the unlockers, the rebels trying to make it free. I’d really like it to be open to new applications. I’d like to install some nice games. Why in the world can I not install a ringtone that I’ve made?” We are with you Woz! Check out Laptop Magazine for the entire interview…
Recently I discovered a beautiful stand for my Apple iPhone. I had been working at my desk and just laying my iPhone down when syncing it to my MacBook Pro. Always making sure that it either stayed in the leather CaseMate case or I would rest the iPhone on a microfiber cloth before laying it down. The problem is that it just didn’t look esthetically pleasing. So I searched around looking for iPhone stands. I came across the ThoughtOut web site. There it was. The PED3. It was an angled stand similar in shape to the base of the Apple Cinema Displays but in black. I was sold.
At first you realize that this is a pretty heavy stand. Its an all steel construction with a baked on coating. It has a slot in the back that is used for cable management. There are seven rubber coated metal grips allowing for full use of ports and controls and rubber feet to keep it from moving on your desk. It has two angled positions to make it the right angle of view for your height. It rotates infinitely 360 degrees so that you can see the iPhone in landscape or portrait view. Best of all, its made in the USA!
The cost is a bit high at $39.99 but then again, you get what you pay for. ThoughtOut makes other Peds for other devices as well. I give this accessory, two thumbs up. They did a great job with this product.
